t its inner end, the sleeve is ilirovided with e Circuler coller 2T provided with e counter bore `groove 28 :forming en outward'- ly facing bringing flange Q9 over the portion 23, seid coller 27 being' shown if'orined es en independent section fitted snugly thereon and adapted to be secured in position through the medium et' eretaining` member or set screw 30 which is shown in Figure l, engaged `tliroiigjli the respective parts :ind Twith the enlarged threaded portion l2 oit' the spindle. By this ineens, the sleeve is lirinly held in position so es to shut the washer l) and againstturning, but to insure against end thrust of the sleeve, e, nut

3l is engaged on the threaded portion l2 and is puelefcl up hy e juni nut also ein ggziged thereonend contacting,` with the inner end of tl1e'sleeve,thns irnily vsecuringv the sleeve in position. Thus, when a wheel 33 is mounted on the spindle, the axle hor; 34e within its huh 35, nl he rotetahly mounted on the sleeve 2l, retained zig-einst end thrust, and the vouter 'end ot the spindle together with the washer l'zmd the nut 20, will he housed hy the flange or thinihle 36. elimilerly, the flange or extension 37 at the inner end ot' the huh, will he received within the 'flange 29, thus servingl to breek the' straight line oic passage or escape, in 'order that theentrzinee of dirt or dust or other yforeign matte-r between the hearingY sleeve end the axle hoi: will beprevented. ln this manner, the parts may be 'retained ine properly lubricated condition, end weer beingl reinovedvirom the spindle proper, the sleeve thereof may be renewed easily end cheaply,

' so :is to permit the spindles te he retained in proper condition zit e low cost off upkeep. Furthermore, hy altering; the size ott the sleeve 2l, the spindle may he adapted to accommodate wheels or huhs of varying sizes thus obv-iating the necessity of changing the spindles or welding e new one et the endsv of the'axles, while the washer protects the nut against weer due te the friction ot the rote-ting` part or huh oi the wheel, while the engagement of the nuts 3l end 32 with the inner end oi the sleeve, serves to keep the nuts 'from unduly tightening thereonr in conjunction with the fact that the sleeve is held troni turning.

` Having' thus described the invention what l eleirn is:

"lie combination of en axle having a, reduced ex ension to lorrn e spindle with a threeded connector uniting them, seid Spindle heaving en' exteriorly thi` eded lyet its inner end, the threads thereot contorinn to those or" the connector, e sleeve inirj-,f-shsiped to lit seid spindle :ind .hsvg v, recess vto receive and t seid hey to :old the sleeve against turning, seid sleeve "ig provided with en external shoulder 'troni its inner end to terniV en shutinenlt for the laxle box ot a wheel huh, e' send hand V`eerried hy seid sleeve, and thrust ineensf'lor securing` the sleeve against long itndinzil movement on the spindlef ln testimony that lgcleiin the Aforegoing` my' own7 l have hereto affixed rny signature in the presence of two witnesses.
